Price-quality ratioMuch better than imagined. The room is just the right size and can be opened to the corridor for dining. The bedside plug does not provide a USB location, the travel plug cannot be plugged into the bedside plug, and the number of plugs on the workbench is insufficient. The door key of the room camera is not sensitive enough and does not respond all day long. WIFI is somewhat poor. About 10 minutes away from JR Hakata Station, there are already 3 major convenience stores downstairs of the hotel.

The rooms are average, and the double room is a bit larger than an average business hotel. However, the water pressure on the ninth floor where we stayed was a little low, the breakfast was pretty good, and the price was a bit above average.

Our flight was cancelled on the day we’re supposed to arrive, since we couldn’t get a refund we only requested for a late check out on our day to depart but was denied. No consideration

It is a 10-minute walk from Hakata Station and the transportation is very convenient. The room is small in size, clean and tidy, and the bathroom is small and exquisite. There are supplies outside the elevator door on each floor that you can pick up for yourself. Room service is provided every 3 days for consecutive stays, but new towels are provided every day, and the breakfast dishes are rich and delicious. There is Lawson opposite the hotel, which is convenient for shopping. Suitable for family travel and business travelers!
